As already said there's no guarantee it won't split. If you cut several and stack on stickers/laths same as for planked timber with some weight on top. Store in a dry but airy spot, odds are you'll get at least one that will be good. Another solution, (I've not tried myself) is to glue some ply to the underside, which stabilises the wood. You could also make a feature of the split and cut in a butterfly joint or two, which would stabilise the split too. Sounds like a great little project, let us know how you get on with it:001_smile:

Hi Dave, Mate I still haven't finished it:laugh1: I keep meaning to start on the house element but other jobs get shuffled forwards. My wife has been asking for ages to get the garden sorted for the summer so that is filling any non paid time at the mo. Fairly sure you've seen these so far but just incase...... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=474841322588583&set=a.410167649055951.94454.205268576212527&type=1&relevant_count=1 Will keep you posted:biggrin: Si

Wow, very nice! Great work mate:thumbup1:

Great form, top job mate

That otter's got character:thumbup1:

That is a monster tree! Would a rope on both ends of the mill even the pull in the cut? You are going to have a mountain of sawdust of that lump mate:laugh1: -
So end of Sept / Oct? That may well be in time for me, fingers crossed:001_smile:
-
Good to know I've still got it
-
Cheers, OUCH! but yes that is always a potential risk and have raised the issue with the staff at the reserve. It's their call, but if it was down to me I would be drilling a network of holes for some bar inserts.

I'll put the date in my diary:001_smile: What sort of time scale once the orders in Rob?
-
Not the best pictures as the late afternoon sun was blinding the camera but there it is hiding away in the woods.
-
Cheers for that Rob, will get back to you over the 16" toonie:thumbup: When is your next order of sugi? will you have more mount options then?
-
Cheers Al, I think the neighbours might have issues with a 4.5 m flue in the garden:laugh1: Just out of interest does the pipe diameter make much difference in pull, ie would a shorter flue work best if 6 or 7 " diam or 4 or 5"? Hi Ian, good point mate, at the very least it will improve what 's there ATM. Ditto mate, looks well toasty:biggrin:

Got a sort of Wile E. Coyote feel to it:thumbup1:

Rescued this old Victorian bedroom fireplace from a skip and thought it would make a great garden feature/heater. Tried it today and I definitely need to create some draw:001_rolleyes: What do you think I need in regards to flue pipe? I was thinking of it coming out the top to say 2m. Do these come up much as used/scrap? Cheers, Si
-
Thanks for all your comments people:001_smile: There was a wee bit of chisel work:sneaky2: I will post a pic of it when it's been up righted. Cheers, Si

To Coronet or Not to Coronet, now that is a question

Finally I got to try one! It will be planted as a standing deadwood in the very near future. -
They are amazing, great find! I reckon a chemical application.

Carved this today for a play area in the woods. First attempt was a vertical carve but was abandoned due to a fat seam of rot. Hoping it will be put in its new home later in the week.

Yeesh that sounds nasty Dave. Sounds like you got off lightly, relieved you're on the mend mate. Sandng with grinders, die grinders and drills has got to more risky than saws, theres little or no safety features and when things go awry theres not much you can do about it. I often use grit discs on the grinder with no guard to get into tighter spots, think I'll put if back on. Had a worried moment the other day, put a big homemade Sanding mop on the die grinder and the Damn thing nearly took off!

That's quality mate:thumbup:

LOL, Tom if you think that will draw me into a list of bad dog jokes you're barking HP the wrong tree mate.
